Paris: Magical Dinner on Ice!

Paris: Magical Dinner on Ice!

Last week I went to Paris for the launch of Dior's new mono eyeshadows and Iconic Overcurl mascara. I have the mascara on right now, and it is fabulous. After you've read what's to come on this page I would completely forgive you for thinking that I was slightly...

Messing About with My Makeup

Messing About with My Makeup

Sorry, I look a bit moody here don't I? I do smile but I never catch it on camera properly for a stills shot. I always get myself mid-grin looking like someone who's escaped from an institution. Oh well. It won't affect your enjoyment of the video, I hope - it's an...

d.j.v. Beautinizer Mascara – Love it or your Money Back!

d.j.v. Beautinizer Mascara – Love it or your Money Back!

I thought that this offer might interest anyone who has been sitting on the fence about d.j.v. Beautinizer Mascara. I've gone on about the Volume Lash version forever; it's one of my most-used makeup products. It coats the lashes with a kind of film rather than a...

Clarins Jolie Rouge Brilliant Lipstick Review

Clarins Jolie Rouge Brilliant Lipstick Review

 My current lip-love is the beautiful Jolie Rouge Brilliant lipstick from Clarins. Actually: that, and the Chanel La Favorite from the Spring collection, but the Chanel is a little drying at the moment whereas the Clarins is ultra-moisturising. It has a really juicy...

Pale and Perfect Winter Tan

Pale and Perfect Winter Tan

I wanted to do a bit of a perky-skin tan video this week, what with all the snow here in the UK. It's easy to feel pasty and pale and sometimes nice to look a little sunkissed even if summer is ridiculously far away. I have a little colour on my face to begin with as...

Dior Cherie Bow Palette Review

Dior Cherie Bow Palette Review

I know, I know: you've all seen this by now. I'm sorry, but I got hold of the Dior Cherie Bow palette about six hours before I jetted off on holiday! I could have taken it away with me, I suppose, but I was too scared that I might lose it or damage it in transit and...

My Holiday Makeup and Tiny Shorts!

My Holiday Makeup and Tiny Shorts!

I pretty much stuck to the same makeup look every night that I was away on holiday - boring, I know, but I just couldn't be bothered to play around. I had only taken a few key items away with me, anyway, and had done on purpose so that I couldn't be tempted to do any...

Urban Decay: Oz the Great and Powerful Palettes

Urban Decay: Oz the Great and Powerful Palettes

Well these palettes from Urban Decay are a whole bunch of fun! They're being released ahead of the Disney movie, Oz The Great and Powerful which is set to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2013. It's going to star Michelle Williams as Glinda (good witch,...

Making My Lips Better

Making My Lips Better

  As you know already (probably), I don't wear a lot of lipgloss. I find it difficult to pair lipgloss with my lifestyle (now and then I actually drink, eat and also go outside where the wind sometimes blows) and it doesn't sit very well with my intolerant...

Christmas Top to Toe!

Christmas Top to Toe!

A quick style and beauty video for you, but with a slight difference because I'm wearing a rather odd ensemble - my Christmas jumper and slippers! And trousers, obviously, otherwise that really would give you a jolt! There's more info on the makeup used underneath the...

Christmas Makeup Palettes

Christmas Makeup Palettes

Some beautiful little makeup treasures for you today; I've given all of these a good old test and they are all gorgeous! I often steer clear of palettes because there are always shades included that seem to have no logical purpose. Bright purple eyeshadows and magenta...

Laura Mercier Deluxe Travel Brush Collection

Laura Mercier Deluxe Travel Brush Collection

I'm often a little wary of travel brushes; some of the applicators in the mini sets are fiddly and too small to be of any real use. Not so, thankfully, with the Laura Mercier brushes in her Deluxe Travel Brush Collection. The quality is just perfect and really, the...
